it defaults to root disk, partition b (wd0b for you).

you do not actually have a /dev/wd0b, right? i think that is causing the

i don;t think the error message comes from savecore.
the problem is there is no wd0b (i'm guessing).

- create a minimal /dev/wd0b
- build a kernel telling it to use sd0b as swap. look at the
"config bsd root on dev [swap on dev] ..." line in config(8).
